AIMING FOR RIO (FR) (f, 2, Rio de la Plata–Tevara {GB}, by Compton Place {GB}), a debut fifth at Chantilly last time Apr. 20, made a sharp getaway and led from the outset of this second go. In command throughout, the 16-5 chance was stoked up inside the two pole and stretched clear under a tender drive in the closing stages to score by an easy 3 1/2 lengths from Jackson en Bois (Fr) (Lilbourne Lad {Ire}). She becomes the first winner for her Haras du Logis-based Darley freshman (by Rahy). The €12,000 ARQDEC foal, kin to a yearling filly by Slickly (Fr), is a granddaughter of the G2 Cherry Hinton S.-winning MG1SP European champion Torgau (Ire) (Zieten). Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, €12,250.
O-Mme Theresa Marnane; B-Haras du Logis & Julian Ince (FR); T-Matthieu Palussiere.
